Is this effective on the neck and trapezius, or is it not recommended for these body parts?

According to the manual, it should not be used on the neck since it could cause muscle spasms that could result in airway closure (or other rather unpleasant effects). It does not mention the trapezius specifically, but since that muscle runs up into the neck I imagine that's not an appropriate use (at least in the upper areas).

The manual lists very specific locations to place the device, and the neck is not one of the places it recommends. It would seem very dangerous to put near your face and head because of the potential for disrupting the central nervous system. I am not sure about the trapezius and it is not listed in the guide as a place to place the device. You should check with your doctor.

I know you are never supposed to use any kind of TENS machine on the neck, face or chest, as it can affect heart rhythm. I use it on my back, hips and legs....if you need a specific area, google tens machine and the area, and you will come up with a better answer for those areas than I can give you...I want you to know though, I get nice relief in the areas I mentioned!

I've used it anywhere I ache, but you should check with the company and follow the instructions.

It is not recommended on the neck; but I have used it on my traps without issue. However, I did place the pads further from my neck and closer to my shoulder, just to be safe. The results were satisfactory.

According to page 5 of the manual:"NEVER APPLY THE PADS TO:The head or any area of the face.The neck or any area of the throat because this could cause severe muscle spasms resulting in closure of the airway, difficulty in breathing, or adverse effects on heart rhythm or blood pressure."On page 6, it also warns against placing the pads "on your spine or backbone."

the box really does not mention these parts...I have used it on oppsite sides of the neck with good results on the neck...go on either side of the spine (just like the low back) just below the inside of the top of the shoulderblade- if you go higher you will make the arms jump...put it on the back setting...my dad is 80 years old with no illness and reqested I try...I have also done it on my husband...both said it helped alotI am not a doctor- only a therapist- this is not a perscription just a recommendation

I tried it on my neck and tried to position the pads where my acupuncturist puts the electric pins into my neck. It resulted in a very unpleasant feeling in my neck and throat. So I'm saying do not use it on your neck. I took one for the team and can tell you that my body sent me a strong signal to stop the treatment as soon as I started.

Yes, you can absolutely use it on your neck. It's recommended to use on face and neck.

Yes. Some. I used this on my face and neck. I guess you could say it did work for the neck cause mine is sleek and slender. However nodding down my double chin shows. Bleh!

Never used it for joint pain... works great on muscles... neck, shoulder, back

Absolutely. It is great for back, neck, knees etc. sometimes I but it on my lower back while I take a walk and it feels really good.

I have a 17 1/2" neck and the design of this device doesn't permit a good neck massage. The only way I can make it work is to literally bend the base into a curve, and I think such bending would damage the device long term. It works for shoulders, but the balls are on a plane that is too flat to get into neck muscles.

I use this on my neck and chest only... I believe that it can be used on your face too... It's just my preference to use it where I do.

I use it mainly for my lower back. I do however feel a release of pressure all along my spine while inverted. It may well help your neck. I hope this has been of assistance to you.

It's the best deep tissue massager I've ever used. However, for the neck it is to heavy for one. It's not designed for one person for the back or neck.

I've only used it for my beard, but to do that requires the removable head. There are blade that would cut very closely and, if I recall correctly, they could be used for other areas of the neck and face where you wanted no beard at all. The long and short of it is probably "yes" you could use this on your body.

Only for the neck. It's very easy to use to stretch and decompress your neck.

I currently use it BECAUSE I'm having major neck issues. It helps with your posture in that it pulls the shoulders back. It makes your head feel heavy when you take it off at night. I hope this helps. If you're already having neck issues, hopefully it is helping to keep them from getting much worse.

Yes, I use mine on the back of my neck on a low setting and on my shoulders. I love this machine because I can target four areas. I can do my neck and shoulders on both left and right side or my upper back and lower back once again on my left and right side. You get four pads and it targets the areas well. I love it.

Hmmm. I haven't used it on my neck. I use it on my arms and legs and hands and it is very nice - tho the scent is nice, I prefer unscented things.

I tried it on my back a couple of nights. I laid on the floor one night and used my feet to move up and down with sick in my spine. It was a lot of trouble. I tried it on the bed and that was worse. I ended up using my happy massage that you can buy from Amazon. I recommend that for your back and neck. This one was just too hard to work with for your back. It works great for your feet.

yeah. ive used it on my neck, feet, chest, thighs, hips and everywhere i can think of. use at your own comfort and discretion, the manual will say only to use specific spots but im convinced thats for liability reasons
